This is a question I am often asked. As I begin a new book I always seek out a
gorgeous, hot guy, from actors to male models, to inspire me and help me create
my hero.
Liev Dragunov, the hero of TO BLACKMAIL A DI SIONE was
no different. What was different in this case was that I wrote the story as part
of The Billionaire’s Legacy and was given character details and story
outline.
When I read about Liev, a very famous and very hot male actor came instantly to
mind as inspiration. Daniel Craig, especially in Casino Royale, was that male actor.
The powerful determination he exudes in that movie and the subsequent 007 movies
was exactly what I envisaged Liev needing. So in my mind the James Bond of
Casino Royale infused with all I knew about Liev Dragunov to become exactly the
right kind of hero to match Bianca Di Sione’s frostiness.
Liev has a score to settle, or rather revenge to seek. He lost his mother and
father when he was a young boy after the collapse of his father’s business. The
young Liev, alone in the world, found himself in many difficult situations as he
grew up, all of which shaped the man he was to become. Those experiences block
out the need for emotions and intensify his desire to seek revenge on the
company he sees as responsible for the death of his parents and changing his
childhood so dramatically.
When finally he is ready to take that revenge, that company is now owned by
Bianca Di Sione’s brother and she provides him with the perfect cover to enable
him to exact that revenge at the most opportune moment. So when he discovers her
liking for a valuable bracelet, he bids against her at auction, taking the price
to record levels and showing the world that Liev Dragunov is as powerful as he
is wealthy. Then in the cold calculated way he does business, he cuts her a
deal, one which will enable him to be close to her and her brother, whilst
finalising his revenge. This closeness becomes much more than he’d anticipated
and unlocks the real man, hidden away after the harshness of his upbringing. It
also proves he has sensitivity, although deeply hidden, which responds to
Bianca’s unexpected and innocent vulnerability. Like every 007 movie, these
softer qualities redeemed him in Bianca’s eyes and enable him, in true Bond
style, to get the girl.
I had so much fun getting to know Liev, I hope you will too.
GIVEAWAY
I have one signed UK edition (internationally mailed) of TO BLACKMAIL A DI SIONE to
give away, just answer my question for a chance to win.
Over the years there have been many actors taking on the role of Ian
Fleming’s 007. Which actor do you think made the best James Bond?
I love escaping to distant shores with my characters, entering their
glamorous world and feeling all the emotions they experience as they discover
their love for one another. A love so strong it will overcome all obstacles
eventually, leading to that promised happy ever after.
"When you've finished making offers for the bracelet, I have a proposition
for you."
Billionaire Liev Dragunov has spent a lifetime plotting revenge against those
responsible for his family's ruin. Finally he has the way: Bianca Di Sione.
She's denied their obvious attraction and coolly rebuffs every request to
work for him—until he finds her weakness: a diamond bracelet she desperately
needs!
Bianca must become his fake fiancée if she wants her trinket! But the taste
of revenge isn't as sweet as desire, and Liev discovers that she is innocent in
more ways than one…

Why I Love The Kettler Montana Stepper
Tired of all the over priced work out machines trying to rip you off? The Kettler Montana Step Machine produces a pleasing top and lower body workout to get a fantastic price. I was blessed to get one on sale for $400 a few weeks past and I am amazed.
After I first opened the box, I instantly discovered how compact and mobile this machine is in actual life. My work causes me to travel a lot , and so I wanted something that was light and relatively easy to transport..Even though I bought this product for private use, it's defiantly durable enough to be used in a gym setting. The simplistic design affilorama scam or not Kettler Stepper only adds to how heavy duty this thing is... This machine wasn't made to look quite either, everything has a purpose and doesn't make you waste your money on unnecessary cosmetics. The machine initially comes in two pieces that you can quickly fit together, the pedals and also the base. The designers evidently desired their product to be as portable as you can, in order that they made it quick to set up and disassemble.
I read through all of the paperwork that came in the carton, which were pretty fundamental, and then gave the machine a try. Just so you know, I am 5'10" and weigh 310lbs, and that i have no problem by using seo pressor plugin and keeping my feet or arms on the pedals. As I mentioned before, the pedals go exceptionally smoothly along with the resistance may be quickly corrected by turning a little knob on the base. After several failed efforts with other fitness machines, I eventually found something that I enjoyed. I want to think that I'm quite strong, and the flexible resistance allows me to get in the right zone.
In conclusion, this device is defiantly worth the cash and that i believe that more gyms should have several. To see whether it is exactly what you're looking for, check out the specs and video on my website. Kettler Stepper. Best of luck together with (Alwaxting Stack 4:01pm September 12, 2016)
Are They Just Another "Juice" MLM?
You will not find a more intriguing nutritional company than Univera. Owned by billionaire Bill Lee, the whole company is concentrated on Bill's vision of bringing the very best of nature to humanity.
What does this mean, the very best of nature? For Univera, that means not merely one completely staffed research lab, but two of these. One lab is in Korea, along with another laboratory is in Washington State, USA.
With such excellent products and incredible research, why is not Univera a household name? What's ceasing the associates from making plenty of money??
Think about calling up your friend, and saying "I 've a gift for you personally!" Does not this sound a little suspect?. The friend will normally say, "what would you mean, a GIFT?" And you say something like "Hey, I know that you'll love it. I will be there in 10 minutes."
This model can set up hurt feelings between friends and family. Since it's a affilorama buy now associate has expectations that occasionally cause friction also. Naturally, Univera feels differently about their gifting model: "Univera's gifting model is the most simple and an easy task to duplicate software in the sector---everyone can succeed."
One other thing I think could be changed for the better is the monthly autoship to qualify for several bonuses will surely cost you $100 to $130 per month. In addition, it costs quite a bit to join, because you must have a supply of "presents". Each "gift" costs you about $10, which tends to add up.
The greatest thing I see that could really help a Univera associate make lots of money is if Univera taught the simple and easy way of interest promotion. What this means in a nutshell is you have a system that "attracts" already interested people that are then placed into your "funnel."
Once in your funnel, you keep "dripping" information to them, about how they are able to become successful in their MLM. abindenpa.tumblr.com/post/126777750 (Obxance Huffman 9:42am September 15, 2016)
